yes, textures from the game are loaded into the video cards memory instead
of the computers memory - it takes some of the workload off the computer so
it can do other stuff.

Not really (why would you want to do other stuff when gaming? Ok ok I know
what you meant...)..

The good thing is that textures doesn't have to get transferred to the card
in the middle of some action, meaning that you don't get the resulting
slowdown.
